Meet Jax! A nearly seven-year-old Boxer mix from San Mateo, CA, whose tan coat shines almost as brightly as his personality! Weighing in at a solid 70 pounds, Jax might just think he's a lap dog with his affectionate, sloppy kisses and an unwavering desire to be close to his humans. Imagine this gentle giant curled at your feet, or better yet, joining in a lively game of keep-away with gleeful children. His joy is palpable, especially when he performs his signature "jumping jax" at the mere mention of a walk! Jax has a heart full of resilience and love, ready to bring warmth to any family. Though he prefers not to be left alone for long, he’s a perfect companion when around other dogs he knows or people—even if just in another room. He adores the great outdoors, and his enthusiasm shines during playdates and adventures at the local dog park. He’s sociable with dogs of all sizes, though his recall may need a little polish—Jax is ever curious about the wildlife he encounters! Living with Jax means embracing his high-energy spirit and managing his sensitive stomach with the right diet. An enclosed yard, constant companionship, and a routine filled with walks and playtime would ensure his days are as joyful as he is. Does your home have room for a big-hearted boxer mix with a love for life? Could you be the one to keep Jax's tail wagging happily ever after? If so, please contact us at adopt@joyfulpets.com, and let's chat about the joy Jax can bring into your life! Also, Jax is open to a long-distance adoption—love knows no distance when finding your perfect companion!

Slinky is a 10-month-old Boxer-Rottweiler mix with a heart as big as his paws. We're fostering him after his previous owner had a medical emergency and his family planned to take him to the pound. At 54 lbs, Slinky is neutered, fully vaccinated, and healthy. He's incredibly gentle and great with other dogs and kids, including our two-year-old son. He gets along beautifully with our five-year-old pit bull mix and knows basic commands like sit, stay, and down. Slinky is housetrained and currently working on crate training. He walks well on a leash and is calm and non-reactive around other dogs. He's playful, affectionate, and eager to please. Under different circumstances, we would be keeping him, but as graduate students in university housing, we simply don't have the time or resources to give him the attention he deserves. Slinky is ready for a loving forever home where he can thrive and be part of a family.

Slinky is a 10 month old Boxer Rottweiler mix. He is 54 lbs, and won't grow much more according to the vet. He is extremely friendly and loves to give people kisses. He friendly towards other dogs and just loved to play. He does great with kids and just wants to be part of the family. We were told that he does good with cats, but we don't have any cats in our home. We have been fostering Slinky for about 3 weeks now. His previous owner's family was going to take him to the pound because the owner had a medical emergency and is no longer physically capable of keeping Slinky. We decided to foster him so he didn't end up in the pound. Unfortunately, we can't keep him. I am a graduate student and don't have time time to provide Slinky with the care and dedication that he deserves. He is a sweet dog, and under different circumstances, we would be keeping him.
